An engagement between the two armies is Irani! ncnt, and may take place at any moment Very few of the disaffected native chiefs now acknowledge any fealty to Theodore. The chief Kassa. ruler of theTlgra district, open ly courts the favor of Major-General Napier, General Napier fears that this chief, whose political character Is bad, alms at making a secret attack on him, and consequently seeks to arrange and perfect a binding treaty of alliance with him, so as to hold him (Napier) answerable for his future acts. Thirty-live thousand British troops of all classes have been landed at Zoula, and the advance of the Queen's army has reached to within two days' march or Autaio, nan way towards Niajdala from tho shore line, where it Is very probable the expected battle will take Dlace. The Egyptians, with a contin gent embracing many Turks, are very near to Nia dala, but they use no caution, and still march on In a reckless manner without tho sanction of the suerlor officers of the English army.

The Saturday Review thinks that anybody who forms his notion of modern English life from what ho reads of it In novels, would be very much struck with the endless difficulties there seem to bo In tho way of getting married. Considering the number of people who are married every year with comparatively little trouble, the anxiety which heroes and heroines are made to undergo In works of fiction, appears strangely out of keeping with what happeus In the dull, prosaic world.

The chief Kassa. ruler of theTlgra district, open ly courts the favor of Major-General Napier, General Napier fears that this chief, whose political character Is bad, alms at making a secret attack on him, and consequently seeks to arrange and perfect a binding treaty of alliance with him, so as to hold him (Napier) answerable for his future acts. Thirty-live thousand British troops of all classes have been landed at Zoula, and the advance of the Queen's army has reached to within two days' march or Autaio, nan way towards Niajdala from tho shore line, where it Is very probable the expected battle will take Dlace. The Egyptians, with a contin gent embracing many Turks, are very near to Nia dala, but they use no caution, and still march on In a reckless manner without tho sanction of the suerlor officers of the English army.
